The Cannonball Kids Fun Run is an annual event held this year on Cannonball Day, June 29, 2024.   The Mason City YMCA is a primary organizer for the Fun Run. Two different events are usually planned;

* Toddler Trot (2- 5 years) 

* Ages 5-13 years, Distance: Pick your own distance: 

             ½ mile – ¾ mile – 1 Mile

* Pickup runner packets at 9 a.m. Warm up exercise begins at 9:15 a.m.

All pre-registered participants who cross the Finish Line are assured of receiving a YMCA Day Pass and a unique Winners Medal designed by the Friends of the 457 that is provided by Hy-Vee Stores in Mason City. Free water and healthy snacks are offered to the runners at the end of the courses. 

Early-bird Pre-registration is cheaper, and definitely encouraged so that each runner age 2 and above will have a T-shirt available to them, however, last minute entries will be accepted for running. 

The Cannonball Kids Fun Run pre-registration Entry Form is downloadable HERE.  Print it out, complete, and mail in ASAP to the address on the form, or bring to the YMCA by registration deadline.

This event supports our community commitment to healthy lifestyle by encouraging active recreation and group involvement.  The Kids Fun Run is jointly organized by the Friends of the 457 and the Mason City YMCA, and sponsored by local supporters.  #CannonballDay
